Make sure the motor is properly fastened. The factory one on my

isn't. When you turn the wiper on, the blade just sits there. However,
under the panel... the motor assembly flaps back and forth "properly".

I've read a few reviews and haven't been impressed.

Has anyone added a deck-mounted wiper system to their boat and been
happy
with
it?

Silly boy. That's a design feature to keep the blade from wearing out.

I got tired of paying $18 a blade at the boat shop for "special" boat
wiper blades, so I "converted" the business end of the mechanism on my
parker to "non-special" autozone car wiper blades at $1.79 each.

Mine has the flat blade that you run a screw through to lock it to the wiper
arm. Local autoparts store (Kragen) and I have to hacksaw off about 3".
